Get Set for ArtPrize 2024

ArtPrize is back, and Grand Rapids is turning into a giant art gallery from September 13 – 28, 2024.

For 16 days, the whole downtown is in on the action, with art popping up everywhere—from parks and bridges to breweries and coffee shops.

It’s free, fun, and there’s always something new to check out, with over 170 venues showcasing everything from huge installations to quirky little pieces.

It’s all spread out, so you can stroll the city and stumble upon art around every corner.

Is ArtPrize really just a nonstop art party? Maybe!

Think fireworks, parades, live music, and secret events you won’t want to miss. Every day brings something fresh, so there’s always a reason to come back and see what’s new.
